Select-HVAC: knowledge-based system as an advisor to configure HVAC systems
Paul Fazio, Radu Zmeureanu, Allan Kowalski · Computer-Aided Design · 1989
A knowledge-based system is presented that has been developed to be used as an advisor in the preliminary design stage of HVAC systems. It enables designers to configure and size HVAC equipment for different climatic conditions, in terms of building type, indoor requirements, outdoor and indoor air pollution. A new approach has been used in building the system, using a modified knowledge engineering methodology and a menu-driven front-end to a full frame-based system.
